Macworld 2010: Interview with Roland Saekow of BearExtender n3

by David Winograd Feb 22nd 2010 at 11:30PM

At the TUAW booth on the Macworld show floor the other week, I was fortunate enough to interview Roland Saekow, the developer of the BearExtender n3, a product that replaces your Airport card giving any wireless network a much wider wireless range. The best part is that is sells for US $49.97, about one third the price of its competition.

Roland and BearExtender n3 were nice enough to do a TUAW givaway that ended last week. The contest garnered over 600 comments from entrants, a huge number, which speaks to the general interest in the product.
Roland has a fascinating story to tell, and you can see and hear him tell it by clicking on the 'Read More' link to watch the video it in Viddler. To see it on your iPhone or a Bluetooth-enabled iPod touch, you can click on this YouTube link.

We apologize for the poor audio sync.

due to the Art Deco designs of the buildings here in South Beach we find it's difficult to get wireless range because of the thick cement walls that much of the area was built with...

in my testing I found that I was able to see 20 more wireless networks than my Airport card in a 2009 MBP just from where the MBP sits everyday...and going out into the world makes it even better

thank you for giving me the test unit and I will hate to see it go

Sounds good. Now all that is needed is an accessory for the iPhone to make AT&T's coverage reliable. I think that will be a bit more challenging.
